Penny's Passion: 2014 Christmas Exchange

2014 Christmas Exchange

One thing I love about blogging is the sense of community among other bloggers.  When I saw the Christmas Exchange on Hill Collection I jumped on board!  Astleigh linked up bloggers who wanted to do a $10 gift exchange and off we went.

The person I was given to send a package to was Vanessa over at Xtremely V.  If you haven't visited her blog, you should hop over and check it out.  Her little one is adorable!

As luck would have it, the box I received was waiting for me when I returned home from a business trip last week.  What a great way to be welcomed home!  It's so fun to get home and have a special package to open before diving into all the other mail that had accumulated over the week!  The sender of  the package sent to me was Carrington at Momma Fussell.  She, too, has an adorable little boy.  I truly appreciate her taking the time to put together this awesome package she sent to me because I know how busy this time of year can be.


Just look at all the cuteness -- a Santa mug, cute socks, candy, cookie cutters and cupcake papers!


As you can see, I put my new cozy socks and Santa mug to great use in lightning speed.  Wassail tastes even better in a Santa mug.


Thanks, Carrington!  Hope you and your family have a fabulous holiday season.  You sure made mine a little bit brighter!

Linking up with Hill Collection -- take a peek at what the other bloggers got in their packages.

  1. That is super cool. I did a few of these exchanges when I first started blogging 5 years ago, but truth be told, it's such a hassle to get to the PO in my town that I stopped.

  20. Awe man...I would have LOVED to have participated in something like this. I will have to remember to search for one to do next year. You received a lot of nice goodies! I did an exchange once...it was actually a gardening themed exchange. It was cool to receive tools, seeds, and I even got a book in my exchange. I also got a garden marker that is still in my now-defunct garden box. Very fun!
